Whats the easiest 3d modeling program available at present, something really basic that could be taught to a 13 year old?. Does anybody have any other ideas for an interesting creative program that could be taught to youngsters? It could be anything to do with music, video editing, not too technical.

modo 3d is easy to use and mudbox is very easy to use.
I remember I was learning 3d studio 4.0 for dos when I was 15 Very Happy

It was a really great experience.

Personally, the easiest program for me is Carrara

But, if you want something free.. then Blender is the one.

But Blender is not conventional.

You may also want to give Silo a go. It's pretty cheap and has a simple learning curve.

Hi, Here's a new release that I recentely came across. This software is a lot cheaper. Check out this video, "Fluid Simulation Demo" at youtube. I'm sorry I can't post links here because I'm less than 15 days old to this forum.

If you're interested, go to youtube and type neevin2009 in the search bar, then at the bottom, you'll find "Fluid Simulation Demo". click it to watch and check the link in the description box.

Thanks
Neevin

Sketchup is handsdown the easiest program in my opinion.

EasyToy should be the easiest 3d modeling software.

Go to youtube and you will find "EasyToy 3D modeling"

Blender 2.5 is the new release, and you know, I took a look at it and said "wow!"

It's looking much friendlier then previous blender versions. 2.5 is still in development, but I'd say: check it out before you consider any commercial option.

For me Autodesk Maya 2010 is most entertaining and easiest for me(funny I just know using Maya as 3d modelin program)

You are out of your mind thehell677 for showing Maya as the easiest software in 3d. its most complicated and among most advanced software in the industry. id rather say google sketchup in the easiest 3d software out there.
